I'm confused....I thought that all FC's redlined at 7,000rpm....why does yours go up to 8,000?

ahh...i guess that makes sense. Didn't notice the electrical gauge in place of the boost gauge rite away. Do any T2 people who port their motors and rev higher ever switch out their gauge cluster for an N/A one? Would it just swap rite in?

LOL, at 130 MPH, shouldn't you be looking at the road instead of taking snapshots of the cluster? Just a thought

I'm not really the one to ask....but if it doesn't have a stock boost gauge in it....i doubt it's from a TII

your oil pressure seems pretty low to me, your guage is diff from mine but at 7500 rpm i would think it would be higher

S4 N/A redlines at 7k, S5 N/A redlines at 8k. The N/A also had the voltmeter while the T2 had a boost gauge there.

Oh, the oil pressure is in kg2/mm, so it's 4-8.
It's probably low because with 130mph of -2C wind blowing at the oil cooler, the oil would get thick quick!

The temperature gauge only has 3 mods in S5 cars. Cold, Operating and BLOWN Motor....I am in Operating rite now..... It's been like that since I got the car, since I put the new motor in....so ...
I'll get my claimed 225km/h next time

come on! you can do better then that!

pls tell me you didn't take the pic yourself.

ie driving at insane speed with one hand, and 1/2 concentration, trying to take picture.

are you stupid?

btw get a new rad. and you oil pressure is low.

at 4th gear redline my oil gauge would read 8 kg/mm^2
and that is with 20W50 oil too.

care to sample the darkside nextime? i took a C70 volvo just before i put the car away, stupid ******* was tailgating me at 175 kph and i moved over to the middle lane, then he takes off, so i give him space and i take off... i backed off around 230 or so... i think his car hit his top speed limiter cuz he just stopped accerlating at 220
=)
